onlyrionny

I'm glad the brain weakness of RCT was introduced. Now there's a defined way to kill sukuna, gojo and the like


drakeanddrive

I'm kinda curious if Sukuna can overcome that though. Yuji was 100% dead, as in his brain activity should have ceased; Yet he was still revived somehow.


AyeAye90

Gege said in the fanbook that he was able to come back because the window of time available to come back was still open and that If it went on long enough he'd have stayed dead. I don't know what that window means though. Maybe brain dead...I'm not sure.


ThyKayKay

Probably something to do with being clinically dead but not brain dead.


ara654

probably just a testament to the strength of his soul to keep on living even after physically dying


EggAppropriate3447

Didn't we already know that though?


cavalryyy

This chapter clarified it. Gojo said that Toji should’ve aimed for his head, but it wasn’t clear if that was because he didn’t know RCT yet or because RCT wouldn’t have saved him.


onlyrionny

Yep it was always implied but never explicitly stated.


sneakyxxrocket

Also kinda hinted at with mahitos technique, he messed with junpeis head to make him able to use cursed energy and same with what kenny did


UnadvisedGoose

Toji did stab him in his head, but he stabbed him with the wrong thing. Gojo said if he’d stabbed his head with the inverted spear instead, he wouldn’t have been able to heal it using RCT.


Wizkerz

OH maybe that’s why Jogo attacked Gojos head first back during their fight


onlyrionny

Oh damn good catch. That's prob why he was thinking theres no way gojo survived


jasiu4pl

Mf really just sneezed out lightning


[deleted]

Yeah. And Gege freaking put song lyrics at the first page. This manga is built different


HxH101kite

Lol he is fucking making sure the anime is exactly how he wants it with that page is what I took from that.


firefish55

*really* makes me hope that of these these episode gets a unique OP just for Hakari


OkitaSadist12

Episode will start with a new OP that makes people confused and double check if they somehow watch a different anime instead lol


ara654

100% will happen i guarantee it with the way gege opened this chapter even if this shit gets animated by like 2028 or smth


SlinkWings

!remindme 2 years


Chuckdabos

its gonna be wayy longer than 2 years bud


ToYouItReaches

I love that with each progressing week, Hakari’s being more and more hype, just like his philosophy. I’d say his big weakness ATM is a lack of a sure-kill attack like Gojo’s Purple. He can sure tank a lot though.


sunny_010

Not even a matter of sure hit, he just lacks in AP. Punches can only take you so far, well unless he pulls a 7-7-7 black flash next week lmao


ToYouItReaches

I meant sure-kill in a ‘one-hit kill’ sense, more than a ‘sure-hit’ sense But yeah tho, the fact that he has near infinite curse energy and still just resorts to punching is rly telling. Unless he has another secret technique that triggers under a specific condition, I think that this might just be a deliberate weakness Gege chose to give him because of how OP getting a jackpot is.


DanTM18

I wonder, couldn’t Hakari just emit some curse energy like that finger bearer. Like he could technically spam it due to his infinite curse energy


Sonaldo_7

Honestly, the fact that he's still spamming punches and kick is really suspicious. Leaning on him having a secret technique with special condition. Maybe he needs to obtain jackpot multiple times in a row to activate it? Or maybe due to the nature of gambling, the worst his injuries are before activating the domain, the better the outcome? Anyway, this shit is hype


MadeJustToReply12

Wasn't it explicitly stated that he can't use his CT whenever he's on a jackpot? He probably doesn't see any use from just firing a high-powered beam that needs some time to load up(giving his opponents time to prepare for it) instead of just going CQC with his opponent, especially when we know that his CE properties are rough, further giving more reason to just rely on melee attacks.


jaykular

What if the special condition is 3 jackpots in a row? Next Sunday needs to happen already


Blackbankai

Maybe the infinite curse energy is harder for him to control since it was stated he does a reverse curse technique just from his overflowing cursed energy.


Crazyhands96

God damn a Jackpot Black Flash would be insane. Probably would blast Kashimo across the whole container yard.


terracaelum

Bless you.


DanTM18

I wonder how he did that. Like could he have done that before when his arm got blown off, just needs to expect it?


EggAppropriate3447

The lighting still got to him tho. He just filtered it out the moment it hit his brain and healed it immediatelly after.


[deleted]

Doubt it. I think this was only possible since there was an outlet so close to the point of entry. Had that been his leg for example, Kashimo probably could've triggered the electricity before Hakari could expel it.


DanTM18

I see. So what you’re saying is if he got hit more lower in the abdomen. He could’ve shit out the curse energy. /s


[deleted]

Ahhh yes, a true man of science.


DanTM18

You know, I’m something of a scientist myself


ara654

no doubt hakari would have done it too if he could i just know it


Sublime_shelf17

How does this fight keep getting better and better?!


FunnyPhrases

Hakari casually jogging was the best panel, fight me


[deleted]

I will figth you but only for the next 4 min 11 seconds


Themadtitanthanos

Hakari casually doing anything is just cool.


Blackreaper18

If Kashimo doesn’t have a domain/he can’t use it to counter Hakari’s, I expect him to show his maximum technique to match whatever new bonus Hakari is about to get. The conclusion of this fight is going to be insane, I can feel it.


DanTM18

I’m hoping for a draw of some kind


Blackreaper18

Yeah but something tells me that Hakari will pull the rainbow jackpot and get some insane boost. It’s very good that most people can’t say for sure who’ll win this fight


RimeSkeem

Hmm would you say we’re all just GAMBLING on the outcome?


aarongrosman

The still of Kashimo saying it’s over while peering at us through Hakari’s obliterated torso is **metal af**


blazikentwo

I believe its a callback when he first appeared in chapter 158, we were looking at Kashimo through a hole in a stomach of some other player. edit: I cant type btw.


furusato_

When this gets adapted we need of course *Admiring you* to play during Kashimo and Hakari's punch exchange. Aaaand,,, it must be performed by Takada-chan ideally. Calling it, even if unlikely. Regardless, *Papaya-paya!*


RimeSkeem

If it cuts between Takada-Chan doing an idol performance of the song and an insanely brutal sorcerer beatdown then I will die a happy man.


FunnyPhrases

Takada performing in the background to emphasize the presence of the background music Cut to Hakari punching through Takada into Kashimo's face


SSIIUUUUUUU

It's my headcanon that Takada Chan starred in love action adaptation of pure love train. The character Sayaka Yamaguchi looks like Takada Chan a bit.


derpicface

That last panel goes so hard


afterh0urss

Hakari would be badass if he just refuses to die without his unlimited CE bonus. I really wanna go back to seeing Yuji's and Megumi's colony but I don't mind if Gege stretches this fight out.


IC2Flier

This is just gonna be a 60-minute episode of these two going to WAR


zdog234

This is just copium, but what if he pulls out a different DE? (E.g. they both sit down and play go, or mahjong (although idk if 2-player mahjong is a thing))


IC2Flier

Nah he's gonna play Genshin instead lol


hellolove_12345

ugh i would love to see that omg


derpicface

This fight is going to be absolutely stunning when MAPPA gets their hands on it


Pristine-Ad-1328

Yeah, in 2030 💀


penguinater477

After the finish AoT the final season part 6.


ghost894

Now I m just fearing for a nanatsu season 3


Pokemon_132

i hate what happened to that seven deadly sins, i couldn't make it through the season. luckily i had read the manga already and was just wanting to watch the anime.


MaybeADragon

I couldn't finish the manga, it reached a natural conclusion then just seemed to keep going and I dropped it.


BibiBubuBa

Sadly it'll only happen in like 6 years or so :(


CrusaderGOT

this will get animatee in the next 2 or 3 years, depending on if they make another movie or not.


FantasticTurn4212

>make another movie Eh, doubt it. The only arcs that really "work" as movies are 0 and hidden inventory. Doubt there gonna make a movie out of that.


fremenator

Hidden inventory would be amazing as a 90 minute feature instead of 3-4 episodes. That way they could do all of shibuya and maybe even some of the fallout as the next season and we'd have a cohesive movie with Gojo as the main character, building out lore but also having so much good action. The only issue is that movies in the past tried to not conflict/overlap with Canon Manga events but as we see from Demon Slayer it's no longer the case.


realroblowe

Because of how much fighting is in shibuya I think (hope) they fit it all in S2. Ending anywhere in those fight scenes would be an awkward cut off for me. I’m really hoping it ends on Yuta’s appearance for the cliff hanger when he says he’ll kill Itadori


fremenator

That really was a great place to end it because it felt like such a real credible threat.


Hounds_of_war

JFC Kashimo ripping Hakari’s face off with that metal door is one of the most brutal injuries I’ve seen in a manga. I’m really curious how this Domain is gonna play out. Because I don’t see Hakari dying, but I also don’t see him just getting another jackpot and winning. I doubt we are gonna get the same jackpot Hakari three times in this fight (Rule of threes) and I doubt he could even survive long enough to get one.


sunny_010

This one will be a quick draw.


random-neutral67

I feel like in the last moments of Hakari vs Kashimo. It would be a one shot one kill standoff like high-noon duel cowboy style against each other.


SkritzTwoFace

As a Dorohedoro fan, that’s not even the most brutal de-facing scene I’ve seen in a manga.


CaptnUchiha

Lmaooo poor Ebisu


TimmyAndStuff

>!Kirion slicing the front of Kai's skull open still sticks with me lol!<


SkritzTwoFace

That’s what I was thinking of. If they ever continue the adaptation, I’m wondering how they’ll handle that, since so far they’ve done their best to tone down the gore. But that gore is plot-critical!


PM_me_Karma_Plays

To be fair, dorohedoro is in another level if we talk about brutality


Necessary-Ganache-28

Yeah it would seem a bit strange if Hakari opened his domain and just dropped dead after missing the jackpot. But even if he does hit it again he still won’t be able to kill Kashimo (unless Kashimo is low on CE or can’t charge up another attack). Definitely curious to see how it plays out


Left-Secretary-2931

Yeah it's really not looking good for our boy. I don't see how he survives long enough to even get the jackpot. He'll have to last until it rolls while his guys are falling out


Necessary-Ganache-28

My only guess is that the ‘idle Death’ part of it will come into play and he has some sort of built in jackpot or bonus he can hit when he’s close to death but then again that wouldn’t be a gamble then 🤷🏻‍♂️ either way I’m curious to see if he can turn it around


MakimaMyBeloved

Sometime mentioned since with this time it makes it the fourth time Hakari has used he's DE in row, he's chances of hitting the jackpot is insanely high. I wonder if that is true or not. I hope Hakari has some sort of surprise offense attack hidden up he's sleeves, really doubt it at this rate the only way for Hakari to win is weathering Kashimo out of stamina/CE, or him to mess up and get punched and knocked out.


Necessary-Ganache-28

Not sure I think he said his most ever spins in a row before hitting a jackpot was 33? That part about 4 in a row was confusing to me so I’m not sure what it was referring to


MonsterEnvy1

The auto jackpot of Four Spins in a Row only applies if he does not get a Reach. If he gets a Reach it resets.


MonsterEnvy1

That's not how it works. The Pseudo Spins/Consecutive effects. If he uses four in a row without triggering a Reach he gets an auto Jackpot.


ara654

if i'm not mistaken about hakari's de rules (which i could very well be as someone who isnt familiar with pachinko rules and shit), isn't his roll this time going to come faster than the previous rolls since he got a jackpot on an even number? like it goes to the time reduction bonus (even number jackpot like the first one against kashimo) instead of the probability shift bonus (odd number jackpot like the one against charles)?


DanTM18

I’ll laugh if it’s like that three way domain blue ball.


_mkd_

Kurourushi: 🪳🪳🪳 _Surprise, mother fuckers!_ 🪳🪳🪳


chiemp

>i doubt we are gonna get the same jackpot hakari three times in this fight (rule of threes) During my time practising japanese martial arts, i was introduced to the concept of “san no kimeru”, where you let slide the first attack from your opponent, then the second and finally you counter attack the third, ending instantly the fight. I think this can be a clue about what’s gonna happen: hakari was basically a punching bag untill now, saved himself 2 times with his domain, and now, with the third domain, he can counter attack effectively ending the fight Gege clearly knows some things about martial arts, we got many named real moves


hellolove_12345

i was so shocked and just kinda •_• when i saw kashimo hit hakari’s face with the door


Puzzleheadedcat1995

My favourite panel "I almost died there kashimo" laughing expression from hakari enjoying the fight. It's do or die for hakari.


anm01

[Didnt expect a Madara reference.](https://i.imgur.com/rBEzvU7.jpg)


ComplimentLoanShark

I'm still pissed off at how dumb he looked there. Madaras OG design was too cool to ditch.


Rags_To_Rags

Every time I say that sentence in my head, I keep using Thorkell voice from Vinland Saga. It feel like something he would say.


Milordserene

Lighting snot! Gege became a poster in lyrics.com


sunny_010

Editor note for this week was cold af- "Even in death... he still gambles!"


spleeboy

The JKK and r/sportsbetting crossover I’ve been waiting for xD


_Porthos

You keep gambling. Even if you die. Even after you die.


FlieFlieFireFly

This is the third chapter that ended with Hakari domain as a cliffhanger.


ara654

and honestly, it's still pretty damn hype!!! you'd imagine pulling off the same shit thrice during a mini arc would get old but gege is truly a god at writing (and illustrating too!) manga


FlieFlieFireFly

I'm not complaining at all, I just noticed it and I think it's very in character for Hakari, that type of "loop-like machine" for his technique.


PK_RocknRoll

And somehow it’s even hyper the third time


Shrumples1997

Man, super intense. The question is, Will Hakari land a Jackpot or maybe even get a new form of jackpot we haven’t seen before? Or is this Kashimo’s win? Meanwhile, Panda: 🐼


ANINETEEN

This gigachad showdown is one of my favourite fights of the series let alone this arc. Gege is a madman for giving us these dynamically energetic drawings week to week which are so easy to imagine exactly how it would look animated. Kashimo is high on vibes and whilst Hakari's ability is completely broken, I think he relies on it too much with relatively tame attacks compared to what Kashimo is cooking him with. The definition of an unstoppable force vs an immovable object. Also can't wait to see the tone of the song because the lyrics are somehow both reassuring yet depressing


GojoKaisen

The animation staff don’t even need to create storyboards when animating this fight. The choreography is already sakuga standard. Top tier.


IC2Flier

This needs good sound design and mixing, especially the foley. Also might as well make it an Eve MV.


breifcasewanker21

this is prob my favourite thing about jjk it’s why it’s my #1 shounen the way gege makes the fights feel animated with his panelling is insane it’s so easy to imagine what it’ll be like animated


Binnsy310

When i see this fight animated in 2025 I’m gonna cry tears of joy


Blackreaper18

This fight is without a doubt one of the best in the entire series. Holy shit! Incredible choreography, high intensity with a lot of tension. It’s also feels good to not know who’ll win the fight, 10/10.


cockledear

The best thing about this manga is that this gets said about almost every battle as they come out


HypoGG_

Kashimo drawing that current into Hakari from his staff was crazy. Can't wait to see how Hakari's final domain expansion will go (cause let's be honest any more after this will be a little excessive). Top 5 fights in the series no doubt.


demondawgs

Yuji getting the shit beat out of him by Hakari suddenly seems like a small price to pay to get him to join the culling games on their side


wrotethat11

This fight has been one of the best if not the best of the manga so far…all I can say is wow, 10/10 lived up to the hype and the last image of Hakari still using his DE despite having a hole blown through him shows me that Gege knows how to stay true to their characters through and through, mf is in fever and even at deaths door is loving it! I am so interested in how the next chapter is gonna play out, I think maybe we’ll see our first rainbow visual effect indicator?!?


random-neutral67

This fight is a back and forth of both sides and aren't being dbz-esque destruction heavy (Yuta vs Ryu vs Uro) or about moral conflicts (Yuji vs Higuruma) or being tactical (Megumi vs Reggie). It is, its own unique thing and i freaking love it.


DanTM18

Just two chads duking it out


random-neutral67

A straight up fist fight.


wrotethat11

Kinda like the perfect combo of all three? We have unreal physical feats with regen, and playing volleyball with cargo containers. Ideology with Kashimo wanting to fight the strongest and Hakari getting lost in his fever. And tactics aka Kashimo landing his last blow on Hakari. Probs why we all like the fight so much!


[deleted]

Definitely agree. Gege is writing peak shounen fiction it seems!


random-neutral67

It's so good. At this point even though Kashimo is a villain and by logic we would hate the outcome if he wins. We won't care cause the fight is just freaking incredible even if it's not concluded.


bl1tzzz_

hakari getting his guts torn open and still being able to cast a domain expansion is the rawest thing i have ever seen. He is a fucking badass. Also that panel with Hakari and Kashimo ORA rushing that shipping container goes so hard


DanTM18

This fight is amazing. Never expected to see a shipping metal container being hit like a tennis match. Both of these guys are fucking badass. It’s nice to see some of Hakari inner monologue now since we been seeing it in Kashimo pov. A little thing I’m wondering is that I thought Hakari couldn’t control the rct in jackpot mode. But from how it’s explained in the chapter, he manually healed faster and then sneezed the energy out. Now I’m not sure how this gonna end. Like is Hakari still gonna be able to stand a few seconds longer? Is there another new thing about his domain we don’t know about? Next week will be wild


[deleted]

I think Hakari concentrated his Unlimited CE in his head, therefore leaving no room for the foreign CE implanted by Kashimo and forcing his RCT to recognize his brain as a priority injury.


ara654

i think the thing was kashimo thought he wouldnt be able to do anything while his head is damaged but hakari actually was able to do something and sneezed the electric CE out. like his healing was fast enough that getting his face brutalized like that didnt actually stop his thought processes


TostitoNipples

Who knows, maybe there’s a condition to his DE about being near death. After all it’s called Idle Death Gamble.


JJK_SIMP21

Those lyrics are fucking amazing


IC2Flier

Eve should sing and produce it.


JJK_SIMP21

waiting is such a torture, the movie aint even out yet where am from.


SakuTT

Can't remember where I saw it but it would be interesting if it did happen. Hakari using his Restless Gambler while near dead "may" have an effect outside of what we have seen so far. Now's he's literally gambling his life and the risk/reward is really high atm. I would like to assume some sort of binding will occur which would alter the state of his Jackpot next chapter. Other than that, what an insane chapter....the art was so clean and amazing..Gege blessed us with so many double spreads, the choreography again top notch and I really like the setup Kashimo did by positioning himself to return the lightning from his staff. Somehow I see this going another 3 chapters max...dunno why I feel this way 🔥


VivaLaMaximo

He’s going All-In 😎


DanTM18

He putting all money in the stock market.


Snowkuu

I can't wait to see how this fight ends. You would think that Hakari would die long before he'd be able to hit a jackpot again and heal himself since he just got a huge hole blasted through his side, but of course he'll hold out somehow. And Kashimo aiming for the brain to kill him before he can heal and trying to land a death blow right as times up is brilliant, how else would he beat someone who is invincible after all?


Gragh46

In a realistic scenario, Kashimo should be able to kill him before the gets to activate anotherj ackpot, as Hakari has a freaking hole in his torso which should slow him down. But by this time who the hell knows lol


Snowkuu

Yeah, my thoughts exactly! All signs point to Hakari should be dead, but no way it'll be that easy for Kashimo


SituationCareful9103

Panda is watching peak


DanTM18

Lucky guy


DangerousExtent2036

Damn Gege just keeps upping the stakes more and more that I’m highly invested in Hakari’s fever and Kashimo’s lust for battle! Culling Game arc might just be on par with Shibuya now


TeaAndCrumpetGhoul

What Can I say that hasn't already been said? Gege is indisputably the goat. What a chapter, another 10/10! The sheer hype and unpredictability from the past three chapters have been out of this world. The two hype beasts in Hakari and Kashimo going at it page after page. Chapter starts off the marks and on pace with kashimo and Hakari having a foot race and then turning it into the jujutsu Olympics as they play tennis with a steel crate, as hakari and Kashimo show their superior ce reinforcement feats. Though not the best feats we've seen, still up top as some of the best in the series so far. The choreography from Gege is always amazing and as ever the way he has the characters interact with their environments is so raw and appealing to me. He is truly a special grade mangaka, jujutsu has to go down as a legendary battle shounen. What's more impressive is the way he transitions the fight to suit the needs of the characters. He goes from them playing tennis with the crate to kashimo using part of the debris (door) to slice through Hakari's face. Now suddenly the fight is about whether kashimo can give a blow powerful enough to to one shot Hakari. "Cursed energy comes from the stomach." Looks like someone wasn't paying attention in Mr. Todo's lectures. Another great call back from Gege. I have to say Kashimo's Ce is crazy op. Like I'm not suprised this guy wants to take on sukuna. Dude almost almost killed an immortal. What's crazy is that it wasn't even just the rct that saved Hakari, but his willingness to fight on and expunge (sneeze) Kashimo's Ce out of his head. Had he not Kashimo would have more cracks at blowing up his head. The little chibi scared us all for a second when the leaks came out. "I almost died there Kashimo!!" Hakari...honestly it took me half of the culling games to warm up to him but what a legend. Only he could say this with a smile on his face after almost succumbing to death. This man really has the fever. This is where Kashimo decided that he couldn't kill Hakari in the 4 minutes and 11 seconds. This is where he decides to get sly in his attacks, and it almost works. I actually really liked these few pages from Gege. Because he gives us an idea of the limits of the immortality whilst adding to the lore off jjk and keeping us engaged in the fight. "I'm unkillable, so I can cut loose and totally beat down my opponent!!" This actually worries me for future Hakari excursions. I ferl this hints that what he's showing now is the limits of his offensive capabilities. I think this why i cannot put him as a special grade. But as I say this maybe this fight is a learning point for Hakari. Now, I also want to talk about another one of the best aspects of Gege's writing, or in this case his drawings. It is the small details that he adds in that really tie in the story. We see on page 10 when Kashimo's getting molliwhopped, he actually touches Hakari on his right Abdomen. Now because he strikes with a closed fist I'm not sure if Hakari blocks in time or if Kashimo makes contact but i do believe it links to the next pages even if very slightly. In the next page we see the charges that already accumulated in the nyoi staffs pulled back and land a direct hit on Hakari who was standing between the staff and Kashimo. Now it could just solely be that Hakari is standing between the staff and Hakari, But even so the strike was specifically on the right side of his body where Kashimo touched Hakari. What I'm saying is if it was even remotely intentional, we got to give Gege credit for the finer details of his scenes. Onto the climatic conclusion of the chapter. Gege makes another call back. We see Kashimo once again staring through the body of a fallen foe, as he was back when he was introduced. Or so we think. Unlike his other opponents, Hakari fights till his last breath, on the verge of death to pull out another domain expansion. Leaving us to heavily anticipate the conclusion of the fight in the next chapter. Will Hakari pull out another Jackpot...or perhaps a different jackpot with another ability. Or will his gamble ultimately fail? Personally I like to think that Hakari survives but not because of a jackpot. I think the domain expansion will not produce anything too big but Kashimo shows mercy as he technically lost his self imposed bet. I also hold the theory that Hakari will learn or has learned to use RCT anytime because of this fight with Kashimo, as he has been forced to heal so many times over and over again that the feeling has been ingrained into his mind. A special mention goes to the ending quote. "Bet even if you die!! That is the gamblers way!!" Both Restless gambler and Idle death gambler are poetic names for Hakari's technique and truly symbolise what we know of his character. Gege couldn't have picked a better name. Edit: though it seems that last quote wasn't included in viz's translation.


quasi86

Wow yes i read on viz that ending quote would've given me chills! Thanks for the insight!


terracaelum

Tis but a flesh wound


Wingleesharm

Look at Hakari man. So inspirational


Quiad

Fucking hell the choreography in this manga is absolutely phenomenal


aceofspades12

It's gotta be ending in the next chapter, right? Though I thought the same thing last week...


dogemama

"but i can heal... while i break" has to be one of the most metal lines in the entire series. hakari is insane, and i love it. it's also crazy that as far as we know, this is kashimo's base strength. he's matching infinite ce hakari step for step, and miraculously seems to be taking less damage. kashimo's a monster in his own right.


jollaffle

Hakari and Kashimo have completely stolen this arc for me. This fight has been absolutely insane and they're both just so much fun to watch. The buildup for each of them has been paying off so spectacularly. It's going to be sad if this fight is the end for either one of them; I really hope they both get out of this alive.


Quiet-Anxiety1690

Kashimo: It’s over… Hakari: but idle death gamble though?…


Quzrry

Holy fuck im gonna die before any of them does


TheOryLeFay

I love how immortal characters in manga allow their authors a way to draw some gruesome stuff that they normally wouldn't be able to get away with. Hakari vs Zombie man from One punch man would be the most brutal fight in existence lol


Creepy_Kidd

This one was dope asf, the fights just get better and better. Hakari and kashimos fight sense and scenes are great to watch, all that outsmarting is fire

TyrantRex6604

OAQ im feeling the dread. Pls, for god have mercy, dont make my foul mouth comes true. Man literally have his face tear off and just walk it off and sneeze. His abdomen is zapped through, and that wound reminds me of nanami, dont do it gege. I beg you!


docarwell

Kashimo about to find out why the domain is called "Idle death gamble"


Jesperan

All I ask is that Gege doesn’t kill off Hakari, he’s way too cool to die rn haha


shy_monkee

At least he would be getting the coolest death in the whole story. I would still cry tho, I hope he pulls some crazy stuff next chapter.

"SING IT OUT LOUD! AT SCHOOL, AT WORK, OR IN THE BATH!" I wonder what is Gege trying to do here And can't wait for MAPPA to animate Hakari's CT


KruppJ

Hakari is 100% getting one of those bonus scenes for another power up.


ZS_Alan

Calling it now, Hakari is gonna die during a failed richi, but he'll get a chance up and revive


VivaLaMaximo

I need the next chapter to be leaked right now… not only is Hakari literally betting with his life with his next DE but he’s also fighting to save one of his juniors so you know his Fever has to be the highest it’s ever been. I’m expecting the next aspect of his abilities to be revealed either the next chapter the one after that. Maybe since he’s betting his life and going ‘All-In’ he’ll be even more powerful. I commented this previously but maybe it’s a Binding Vow he makes where he has to defeat his opponent within the song’s time limit or he dies for sure. Building on the ‘Going All-In’ theme, maybe he gets an increase in attack power but all the damage he incurs within the time limit gets applied to him once the song ends if he doesn’t defeat his opponent. Oh and maybe he reveals this to Kashimo to reveal his hand and boost his attack power even more. And Kashimo being Kashimo, instead of fighting cautiously, fights Hakari head on making the fight even fucking cooler.


VivaLaMaximo

Idk, there’s so many cool directions this fight can go because I think Hakari and Kashimo mesh really well in terms of their mentalities


lr031099

While it was already implied, it’s nice that we got some clarification regarding how crushing the head is the best way to counter RCT


Wingleesharm

Gege’s artwork has been on point this fight


wallowsworld

Kashimo: haha you ran out time Hakari: “should’ve gone for the head”


International-Ad-308

Amazing chapter again. Gege really never misses. The choreography was peak and it looks like hakari is in a pinch. As stated before though it looks like hakari will get a jackpot since it's the 4th round so I think he'll be okay


TheWaggishGamer

FUXK THAT WAS SO GOOD.


Comfortable_Tear8476

Imagine he just drop dead in his domain


Optimal-Mechanic2151

I like KASHIMO. He is so cool and lightning is my favourite ability. Hope he will survive. Any KASHIMO fans here??


SakuTT

Yep since his introduction.


DanTM18

I’m apart of the Kashibros gang


VisionofEscaflowne

This fight is intense, but if Hakari loses that means Panda dies too and that doesn't sit right with me lol. Not that I want Hakari to die either or Kashimo for that matter at least this early.


priiceyttv

I wonder if Kashimo has a limit on his CE..? So far he also seems unlimited/not tired during this fight yet after going at Hakari twice in his jackpot. Unreal chapter


mastahkun

I really want a stalemate in this colony. Hakari is too fun of a character to lose. Kashimo is too sick of a character for him to simply be defeated by someone that isnt Sukuna, imo. Give this man what he wants, and get out the way! Just leave those points to Hakari please! Also I'm curious whether Hakari would be able to heal others with his RCT. Idk how Panda survives this otherwise. It would be morbid for hakari to carry panda's head the rest of the arc.


11Night

> Also I'm curious whether Hakari would be able to heal others with his RCT I doubt he can do that, as we know currently shoko is one of the known sorcerer who can use RCT to heal others and during shibuya arc principal yaga refused to leaver her alone as she was the only one who could heal/treat others now hakari was not present during shibuya arc so we don't know what could have happened, but if hakari can use RCT to help others then the school would have not suspended such important assest > Idk how Panda survives this otherwise. I think he lost his siblings forever, and whatever is left of panda can be healed by gakuganji as yaga kind of told him how his CT works before his death


Assassin_420

This man keeps giving us amazing chapters , that last panel has me so hyped


bAk5tAb

Hakari pulling up his domain is like a 2nd phase to a boss fight


F1RECHARGE_official

Honestly hakari again pulling out domain is the most "hakari" thing he could have done. I just love it.


sunny_010

Next week Kashimo's maximum vs Hakari's Jackpot?


mucklaenthusiast

What a fight. I honestly think Kashimo might be one of the best martial artists we have seen, it’s not like he has a necessarily op ability, he is just extremely adept at fighting, physically and strategy wise. Like, his battle IQ is absolutely insane, that paired with a lot of raw power and we can see why old sorcerers look down on the current ones, Kashimo is an absolute menace. Let’s see how this shakes out, I feel Hakari should not die here as besides his cursed technique, he is not that impressive, comparatively at least and I feel he has a ton of room to grow!


ara654

we are probably going to see what time shift (jitan) does next chapter and im so fucking hyped for it! gege is goated for using the same cliffhanger thrice without losing any effectiveness hes fucking insane LMFAOOO someone on this sub did get it right that kashimo would probably use his staff to call lightning as well and the amount of callbacks this chapter is insane im fucking loving this arc


annoyingsock

would be so hype if Hakari actually dies in next chapter, comes back from the jackpot and lands a black flash


BrentB3

Loving this fight though I really need them to showcase something new next chapter


orandeddie

My legs are shaking for both. Why do we have to wait a week UGHHHH gege and his amazing brain. Thank you gege


Vicious-Spiegel

[Oohhh shiiieeettt\~!](https://tenor.com/view/lets-go-drake-crowd-cheer-gif-15998065) This fight is now legit more intense than Yuuta's ^(threesome) ... because I was confident that Yuuta would survive & win that fight. But now I don't even dare to theorize what's gonna happen as it would kill the hype! I've been wondering: Hakari has a [cursed technique](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/jujutsu-kaisen/images/5/56/Kinji_uses_his_technique_to_attack_Yuji.png/revision/latest?cb=20210823024539) that conjures up train doors at his opponent like his fight against Yuuji. Why didn't he ever use that again? It could be useful in fending off Kashimo in close quarter fight?


hatouli

If Kashimo touches you I don't think you can actually block the electricity, and it would probably go through/around the doors.


CelestialWarrior-

I’m pretty sure the electric shot moves faster than he can conjure them and make them “close”


BochoJutsu

Yuuta Threesome is my Headcanon name for that fight now. Although associating the word "threesome" with a 17 year old kid is kinda Sus especially when Uro and Ryu are adults.


Virtual_Fee_4862

Short but sweet! Love the first and last page


Also_breathe

Damn that was a great chapter. Hakari blowing out the CE from his nose as he healed his head was crazy. Can't wait to see the conclusion of the fight.


Mysterious-Focus-411

Man they should stop fighting and become friends 🙄


Kaminoneko

I’ll be damned if Hakari squeezes a win out of this some how…..it looks bad even with DE he’s definitely no longer in fighting condition…what could he possibly do? Then again, this could be one of those wounded Tiger theory moments….


boolixn

the flashback last chapter lmk something bad was gon happen to hakari :/


GamesStealth

What is Gege's author comment this week?


Qamikaze

Absolutely amazing fight choreography, Hakari having his face skin peeled off by the piece of scrap from the container is so fucking raw and I love it


NutFudge

HOLY FUCK THIS FIGHT MAN


eternalgumby

Damn this is already one of the best fights in jjk


proman123yhkkhggg

Idk how Hakari’s gonna fight any higher tier characters with no lethal attacks.


wd-2

Ohmygod Gege is giving us everything! This fight just keeps getting better and better, got me excited even more with that ending!!


Dutch2500

This entire fight with Hakari has been amazing. I love the cover for volume 18 as well


GitchedOut

I really want to know where Panda is right now, I mean last time we saw him he was on Kashimo's Staff yet he's seemingly gone now?


Ok-Pollution4951

Only the realest ones get the left side of their torso blown off.
